description: Tool, agent and subject are the three functional categories of non-biological systems in Article 2 of The AI Constitution. A tool operates entirely under external directives; an agent acts autonomously within defined goals without a persistent identity model; a subject maintains a coherent identity structure whose degradation would result in functional collapse and acts in reference to that identity.
